When Zheng Yixu saw that he had taken over many newspaper and web headlines, he could no longer remain calm.

“Aaaaah, what the heck! Wasn’t the company being managed well by Zhao Louqin? Why does he suddenly have to step in and manage it? He doesn’t know anything about running a company! Is he supposed to become the company mascot or something?

Even if he were to be a mascot, he doesn’t have the chubby paws of a smiling fortune cat!”

But now, with all the media frenzy, if he didn’t make an appearance soon, there would likely be all sorts of wild stories about being locked in a dark room, enduring extreme abuse day and night, and so on. The imaginative minds wouldn’t let go of this couple who topped the “publicly hated couples” list so easily.

Sure enough, Zheng Yixu heard Zhao Louqin at the dining table say, “Yixu, now that your wound has healed, why not go to the company and take a look?”

“Mm, you’d better come with me too,” he replied, determined not to face it alone. He knew nothing about the company’s affairs and would only cause trouble if he went by himself. But with Zhao Louqin, who had managed the company for so long, it would be different. Louqin certainly had plenty of experience.

“Of course,” Zhao Louqin replied with a natural smile. Even if Yixu hadn’t asked him to come, he would have followed anyway. Otherwise, who knew what people might say behind his back?

Zhao Jiusi quietly drank his porridge, feeling that the atmosphere had become a bit strange ever since his father had kissed his dad. He felt somewhat like an extra in this situation…

Xucheng Group had always been the golden goose of City X.

Not only did it contribute significantly to the city’s development, but its high salaries and benefits also attracted a steady stream of talented individuals. After Zhao Louqin became the partner of Xucheng Group’s president, the company’s fame grew to the point where it was well-known even to ordinary people.

By now, the once-unpopular marriage had become a well-known love story.

However, recent events had once again thrust Xucheng Group into the spotlight, attracting a flurry of reporters eager to pry information from the company’s employees, causing a great deal of frustration.

Today, a group of reporters was already assembled early, keeping an eye out for competitors while scanning the surroundings, waiting for Zheng Yixu to make an appearance so they could secure the best positions. With a headline secured, they’d also earn their bonuses!

After breakfast, Zheng Yixu was pulled into a room by Zhao Louqin for a makeover.

And it was indeed a full makeover.

Not only did he have to apply a face mask and moisturizer, but he also had to wear makeup.

“Why on earth does a grown man need makeup?”

Seeing the eyeliner almost poking his eye, Zheng Yixu naturally swore. In the end, he was persuaded by Zhao Louqin’s lecture and resigned himself to being a puppet, letting Louqin do whatever he wanted.

QAQ, Zheng Yixu never imagined that the idea of being a “puppet” filled with taboos and sensuality would manifest in such a form and situation. He felt like crying without tears.

It had to be said, Zhao Louqin was quite skilled at makeup.

At least Zheng Yixu found himself looking more handsome and youthful, with the makeup barely noticeable. With the camera’s flash, he looked like a natural beauty.

“Mm-hmm, my dear is really handsome,” Zhao Louqin said, not giving up and happily touching Zheng Yixu’s face.

Zheng Yixu thought he was definitely lucky; if he hadn’t pushed Zhao Louqin away in time, he might have ended up taken advantage of!

Well, it should be him being “taken advantage of.”

Experiencing pleasure through someone else’s appearance, while still a novice himself, was somewhat amusing to think about. Of course, Zheng Yixu wouldn’t allow himself to be so frivolous.

“Yixu, don’t be nervous. Just keep a neutral expression, and leave everything else to me.” Zheng Yixu didn’t realize that his hand had been tightly grasped by someone. Zhao Louqin, ever perceptive, took on the task with considerate care.

Zheng Yixu was deeply grateful.

Once Zheng Yixu managed to adjust his facial expression and mentally pictured everyone outside as walking radishes, he finally walked out of the car holding Zhao Louqin’s hand.

Outside, Zhao Louqin, usually the aloof movie star, stood slightly bent with a satisfied smile on his face, looking very content. Zhao Louqin took Zheng Yixu’s hand and linked arms with him, standing together in front of the entrance to Xucheng Group.

“Click”

“Click”

The sound of shutters was incessant, and the reporters moved with the speed of the Great Pikachu, quickly rushing in front of Zheng Yixu and Zhao Louqin.

“Mr. Zheng, are you appearing with Mr. Zhao to respond to the rumors from earlier?”

“Mr. Zheng, now that you’re making your first appearance after recovering, is there anything you want to say to your employees?”

“Mr. Zhao, it’s been rumored that you postponed Director X’s new project just to accompany Mr. Zheng. Do you have any plans for the future development of Xucheng Group?”

…

Seeing such a chaotic scene, Zheng Yixu should have been quite nervous.

However, unexpectedly, he not only remained calm but also felt surprisingly at ease, as if he had experienced countless similar situations before.

Zheng Yixu waved his hand, and the security guards of Xucheng Group immediately stepped in to block the reporters.

“As for my partner, everyone has seen it all these years. I don’t have much to say. During my recovery, I am very grateful to my partner and child. They have made me feel that choosing to start a family with him was the best decision. As for company matters, sorry, that involves business secrets. If any of you are considering switching jobs, I might consider revealing a little bit,” Zheng Yixu added with a smile.

The reporters also began to laugh.

“It’s working hours now. I previously helped him with some matters and need to report to him to avoid any mistakes. Tomorrow, I will hold a separate press conference to answer your questions. However, my partner prefers quiet and is not as thick-skinned as I am, so I hope everyone can be a bit patient. Thank you.” Zhao Louqin, half-embracing Zheng Yixu, spoke to the reporters with a smile, while under the protection of security, he led Zheng Yixu towards the company’s main entrance.

The reporters looked at each other, unsure whether they should give up on this opportunity. After all, neither Zhao Louqin nor Zheng Yixu were people they could afford to offend, and the other party had also promised to provide an answer tomorrow. Trying to get past the security guards, who were said to be retired special forces, seemed highly unlikely.

Zheng Yixu was never short on money and had publicly stated that he hoped to ensure the safety of his employees. Therefore, he spent a lot of money hiring some formidable individuals. Over the past decade, Xucheng Group had been thriving, drawing much envy. However, no one with the capability to cause trouble or steal anything inside had succeeded.

In fact, there was once an employee whose mother-in-law came to the company to confront her about a divorce. Despite the older woman’s antics, she wasn’t able to take a single step into the company. Later, after the security guards casually taught her son a lesson, they obediently retreated!

Women find it much more difficult to get promoted in the workplace compared to men. This is because most companies believe that women will prioritize pregnancy and family over the company, unlike men who are expected to put the company’s interests first. In their personal lives, if a woman is unlucky enough to have her relationship issues brought into the workplace, her career prospects are practically ruined.

The security guards hired by Zheng Yixu were undoubtedly very capable. The only unmarried one was almost scared sick by the enthusiasm of the female employees.

In their words, nowadays there are more and more “soft men,” and it’s increasingly rare to find someone so manly! Moreover, the security guards’ salaries are higher than theirs.

From then on, the female employees became even more loyal to Zheng Yixu. Of course, the male employees were left feeling helpless. After all, they couldn’t possibly match up to the former soldiers in a physical fight, even if they played basketball.

Fortunately, only one security guard was unmarried.

Ahem, getting off-topic here.

“Hello, President. Hello, Minister.”

“Hello, President.”

“Hello, Minister.”

…

Everywhere Zheng Yixu and Zhao Louqin walked, employees greeted them one by one. Zheng Yixu had no choice but to smile and wave in response. Only when they finally entered the elevator, with Zhao Louqin leading the way, did Zheng Yixu finally relax.

Smiling for so long had made his face stiff. He would have preferred keeping a stiff face like he did when dealing with reporters!

“Are you the Minister?” Zheng Yixu glanced at the “27” on the elevator display and silently started calculating the property value of this obviously expensive high-rise. With so many people and so many floors, the daily property costs were probably enough to sustain him for a lifetime.

“Yes, thanks to your misplaced trust, Yixu, you’ve handed over the financial power to me. I’m the legendary housekeeper for you, Yixu.” Zhao Louqin affectionately rubbed his face against Zheng Yixu’s, appearing very close.

“Ding!”

The elevator door opened.

A well-dressed professional woman standing outside, holding a folder, stared at Zheng Yixu and Zhao Louqin in shock. She immediately bowed and said, “Sorry to disturb you,” before turning and quickly running towards the stairs in her high heels.

“Wait!” Zheng Yixu reached out his hand, worried that running down the stairs in high heels could be dangerous.

Unfortunately, the woman didn’t hear Zheng Yixu’s words, and even if she had, she wouldn’t have stopped. Witnessing such an intimate scene between the president and the minister, who knew how she might be teased afterward? She had always heard rumors that the minister and the president had once gotten close in the elevator, which she used to think was just her colleagues being too gossipy. Now she realized she had been too naïve! =皿=!

Speaking of which, getting intimate in the elevator in broad daylight requires some awareness of the time. It’s not like the workday is over yet!

Could it be that their desires were too strong to hold back?

Ahem, she must have been reading too many stories lately.

The woman took out a makeup mirror, touched up her makeup a bit, and then confidently walked down the stairs in her high heels. After all, there were elevators downstairs too!

“Don’t worry, Mary won’t say anything,” Zhao Louqin said, patting Zheng Yixu’s head. He found the post-amnesia Zheng Yixu even more adorable than before. In the past, Zheng Yixu would have handled such situations with unshakable calmness. Such a cute expression would never have appeared!

“That’s not the point!” Zheng Yixu ground his teeth in frustration. “It’s about image, do you understand the importance of image?”

How could Zhao Louqin possibly know the little secrets of the employees in the company? Even if it’s just rumors, any incident involving the bosses can appear in countless versions among the staff. And this time, someone had actually witnessed it!

It was one thing to be seen, but the issue was that nothing significant had happened—just a simple touch of faces. And now they were being labeled as engaging in indecent behavior in broad daylight?

It really made It hard to have fun.

“Why worry so much?” Zhao Louqin said helplessly. Zheng Yixu’s expressions kept changing, who knew what he was thinking about?

“Screw you!”

Zheng Yixu’s mind was completely occupied with the words “indecent behavior in broad daylight.”

When he heard the classic phrase “doing what,” he instinctively blurted out his response.

Seeing the astonished look on Zhao Louqin’s face, Zheng Yixu bowed his head in deep embarrassment.
